The vertical structure of the boundary layer around compact objects

Marius Hertfelder, Wilhelm Kley

Context. Mass transfer due to Roche lobe overflow leads to the formation of an accretion disk around a weakly magnetized white dwarf (WD) in cataclysmic variables. At the inner edg…

The Boundary Layer in compact binaries

Marius Hertfelder

We perform numerical hydrodynamical simulations in order to calculate the luminosity and the spectrum of the BL and its dependence on parameters like the mass, rotation rate or mas…

Wave mediated angular momentum transport in astrophysical boundary layers

Marius Hertfelder, Wilhelm Kley

Context. Disk accretion onto weakly magnetized stars leads to the formation of a boundary layer (BL) where the gas loses its excess kinetic energy and settles onto the star. There…

Modeling the EUV spectra of optically thick boundary layers of dwarf novae in outburst

V. Suleimanov, M. Hertfelder, K. Werner +1

Here we compute detailed model spectra of recently published optically thick one-dimensional radial baundary layer (BL) models in cataclysmic variables and compare them with observ…

The Boundary Layer in compact binaries

Marius Hertfelder, Wilhelm Kley, Valery Suleimanov +1

Disk accretion onto stars leads to the formation of a Boundary Layer (BL) near the stellar surface where the disk makes contact with the star. Albeit a large fraction of the total…
